Indiana is once again holding a free fishing weekend June 6th and 7th. Kids 17 and under never need a license. If you haven't fished for a while and don't have a license, this weekend is your chance to try it again without buying a license. So dust off that fishing pole and tackle box, invite a child you know that's never learned to fish, and teach a new generation to enjoy what our local lakes have to offer in LaGrange County.
